Operational History

Was responsible for the air defense of the Central and Southeastern United States (1951-1960).

In August 1957, Canadian and United States officials announced the establishment of an integrated command in Colorado Springs, Colorado which would centralize operational control of continental air defense. On 12 September 1957, NORAD Headquarters operations commenced at Ent Air Force Base, Colorado Springs, Colorado. On 12 May 1958, the Canadian and US governments formally exchanged diplomatic notes which constituted the NORAD Agreement. The Central Air Defense Force was inactivated on 1 July 1960 when the NORAD Air Defense Sectors were established.
